Worked great for years. This week it stopped working. Like other posts, I have removed and installed several times over several days including today. Very disappointing to see the support team respond that all is fixed when it is not. Jan 27, 2021 Update, after a few weeks, tried it again and it is working fine. Which is how it worked for several years.

What's Next?

This app has made improvements since I first rated it * * back in March of 2019. The main issues I mentioned have been addressed and a few more nice improvements have been made which has made the app very usable!

The app is buggy and has been for years. It often sends double push notifications for same article. When you are finally tempted to read the article on the push notification and tap, it promptly takes you to a completely different article. So then you have to go search through app.

While the app works fine on my tablet, the actual news has been eliminated. Just a bunch of sensational and in depth stories. I really miss the old paper format that had all kinds of news. No real US and local news, no comics, no obits, little sports. I will likely let my subscription lapse.

Even in the short time I've had the app, I've noticed the stories leaning more and more towards a left-wing bias. I thought I could trust Deseret News to bring me decent, unbiased local news but, once again, I've been let down by another local news firm. What a shame.
